I have several high crewneck tanks with cut-away shoulders and that look is very on trend right now. The high crew neck looks good because of the contrast with the very bare shoulder.
For fall, mock necks are still in, especially in sweaters or sweatshirts.
Crewnecks are actually pretty in but don't look amazing on most people. But again, depends on the item. I look bad in a crew neck t-shirt unless it's very fitted (just overwhelms me). But a lightweight sweater or cardigan with a crewneck looks nice on me as long as it's a little bit fitted. The drape of the sweater keeps it from looking too bulky.
V-necks are never really out of fashion.
If you have a long neck and/or face (as I do) boat necks are great because they break up that long line from your forehead to your chest. Whereas v-necks on this body type can exaggerate that line and make you look kind of gawky.
Which you don't have to think about buying off the rack, there will times when a given neckline becomes prevalent, but the designer has taken care of the rest. I assume OP isn't asking how to alter her current shirts, just what to look for when buying.
